Perfect timing, I was just about to buy new PSU but couldn't make my mind whether to choose this ENERMAX or NZXT C1200. HWBusters also awarded this one so I guess I will order one ;)

I find it interesting that RSY and Helly were PSU OEMS people avoided years ago. Seasonic (and Superflower with RSY) outsourced units to them and now these OEMs are really producing some quality units and in this case offering performance as good as (or better than) those mentioned.

I have had only the best experience using Enermax PSUs for many years. Ideally I choose only between Seasonic and Enermax.

My current PSU is a Enermax Revolution D.F.750W. I read a test which had very good results for the 0-100Watt Output range regarding the efficiency.

I needed another pair of cables as the locking force was not acceptable for the 20/24 pin ATX and the CPU connector. They went loose while doing the cable management. (I compared it with the previous defective Corsair PSU cables to compare the locking force) The new cables work as expected. I got it replaced free of charge. The customer support is very fast via email.

Would this PSU be enough to power an RTX 5090? I'm buying a new computer next year and I'm interested if it's enough.

Do you know why manufacturers put this plastic sheet (which is on the left side of this power supply) inside the power supplies? Doesn't it hinder ventilation?
it helps to focus airflow onto the parts that need it most, PSU have been using it for decades (not all of them obliviously)

based on "leaked" power demands it should be but no one can say until the RTX 5090 is in the hands of reviewers. I would be shocked if a quality ATX 3.1 1200w PSU could not handle the RTX 5090 and a flagship CPU

Not a big problem, but the link with the price does not correspond to the reviewed power supply.

Not seeing the problem, which link exactly?

ooooh .. this is Amazon redirecting you to what it thinks is the right product for your region. It sends me to: https://www.amazon.com/PlatiGemini-...ll-Modular-EGN1200P/dp/B0CYKCXKL5?tag=prid-20

I have the same issue, Amazons always defaulting to our local region, sometimes with the wrong product. This is more of a recent occurrence. I'm also getting DFX when hitting this link. I've been lazy to find a fix but for a quick workaround, using the mouse i right click on the link and select "open link in incognito" and it works. Or, copy link to another browser - for me it works using Brave.

@suvirintojas , question for Enermax most likely: could this PSU in theory power two motherboards simultaneously; one via the classic ATX on a normal ATX board, and the other via the ATX12VO on a new ATX12VO board?

One switch would power on both, but which would be the 'master' of the two and actually control turning off, etc.
